New precise measurements of the Lambda_c, D0, and Ds lifetimes are presented. Results on Lambda_c and D_s production for x_F>0.2 are reported as well. The spectrometer was also used for hyperon physics, where we will show measurements of the Sigma- charge radius, the polarization of inclusive produced Lambda's, and the polarization of beam Sigma+.12 pages, 1 included figure.
